The Story:
“WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS…” & “HELL HATH NO FURY…”
Two titanic tales in one issue as superstar writer Jeph Loeb is joined by legendary artists Arthur Adams and Frank Cho! When Bruce Banner sets out to find the Red Hulk he doesn’t expect his search will lead him to Sin City, Nevada. And imagine his surprise when he arrives to discover the unbridled carnage a pack of Wendigos can unleash! Las Vegas buffets will never be the same! Plus: no matter what size, shape, color or sex, Hulks don’t take kindly to being on the wrong side of a beating. Armed with an arsenal of advanced S.H.I.E.L.D. weaponry and itching for payback, She-Hulk’s Lady Liberators have one goal: Subdue the Red Hulk, and make him pay in the process.

Comments? What are your thoughts?!?

I was surprised to see the gray Joe Fixit Hulk emerge again. I wouldn't mind seeing him square off against Red Hulk, I think that would be a particularly brutal, savage fight since they are both pretty nasty when it comes to their slugfests.

I'm taking it from the numbering that Marvel rebooted the Hulk?

Yea, because Hercules took over in the other one and now its called "The Incredible Hercules".

Meh...I just wonder when World War Rulk is starting? :p

The Story:
Looking to make a bombastically brilliant book? Here's what ya do:
Have JEPH LOEB whip up two heaping helpings of Hulk. Get ART ADAMS to draw HULK vs. the maximum amount of WENDIGO monsters allowed on paper. Then get FRANK CHO to draw RULK whupping up on the gorgeous LADY LIBERATORS. Put both tales together, call the whole thing HULK #8. Bring to boil and serve.

Comments? What are your thoughts?

Does anyone know how much longer this Red Hulk business is supposed to go on?

And I refuse to call him "Rulk."

[Xurk]

Fulk? Grulk? How about they stop doing this hip thing that the media does nowadays with celebrity names and just call him Joe Fixit or Gray Hulk? :shrug:

That put aside, I'm not liking the Green / Gray Hulk's story. The art is strange - Ms. Marvel looks like a ten-year old and the anatomy of her upper parts is just TOO weird - and I just can't bear seeing [Green] Hulk reverted to an imbecile after the fantastic few years we've had with Planet Hulk and World War Hulk :(

Even though Red Hulk is an annoying character whose mystery identity is also being dragged out for far too long, I'm enjoying his story arc more. That's partially thanks to She-Hulk and her Laby Liberators. I love She-Hulk, I've been reading her book for a couple of years now and she's such a fun character :) So her inclusion automatically makes this a fun story.
But final splash page made no sense to me, due to the inclusion of Spider-Woman :confused: Does this story take place after Secret Invasion? I haven't read the final issue there yet, so that may be why I don't understand this page... last I know, Spider-Woman was the Skrull Queen and now she's kind of.. dead.

Spoilers for the final issue of Secret Invasion...

The real Spider-Woman is back, alive and well, along with all the other heroes who were being impersonated. But, that doesn't really answer the question - is this before SI, and that's the skrull, or after SI and the real deal?
